I was confused by the title of the article. “Go Hardware Failure! w00t! You can do it! Stand up, sit down, fight fight fight! Goooooo Team!”

benn getting db errors for the past 2 days I hope this resolves the problem

My site has been going on and off for the past three days for several hours. Dreamhost keeps replying “Fortunately we are on top of things and resolved it.” BUT the problem continues.

My site is on Nilla, which seems to be intermittently down / unreachable without anything appearing here. Keep diligently checking dreamhoststatus every time it goes kaput, keep not seeing anything that explains what’s up :/

My php db on Go is still down! This downtime is getting ridiculous, good thing my work related things are on another host or I’d be losing a great deal of business.

How do you CHECK YOUR CPU USAGE? Anybody know?
October 24th, 2006 at 6:15 pm
The slickest way is to use “top” (you will have to log into your shell account). Not only will it tell you cpu usage but memory usage and load average. There are lots of sites that will help you make sense of the info if you’re interested.
That’s “top” a very useful tool.
is there any chance we could get some warning on dreamhoststatus.com that machines are moving before they’re moved? Like an hour or something? Post the message, go get lunch and then do the move when you get back?

Sure you will.
I think there’s a conspiracy. Anytime I’m trying to rev up some visitors that’s when you decided to have a meltdown. And this time, specifically on my server. Who’s behind this? Was it Nixon?

Everything is working fine now in my site.

Ummm…whatever’s resolved doesn’t seem to be helping my site.
